“Say who you are, really say it in your life and in your work. Tell someone out there who is lost, someone not yet born, someone who won’t be born for 500 years. Your writing will be a record of your time. It can’t help but be that. But more importantly, if you’re honest about who you are, you’ll help that person be less lonely in their world because that person will recognize him or herself in you and that will give them hope.”
Today someone wrote to me and shared how the words published here on this tiny piece of internet real estate made them feel less alone and more hopeful.
And that’s what all this is really for. On the long days when the blank page and cursor blink in front of me and I’m tired and my brain feels exhausted and fried, it helps to know the effort and energy of sharing my writing and these simple ‘musings’ help someone feel more seen and understood.
Thanks for being here.
